Lightly flour your working surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Using alphabet-shaped cookie cutters, cut out letters and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown.
